Verusca Semmler Rossi

Master's degree from the University of São Paulo at the Center for Nuclear Energy in Agriculture (CENA/USP), in the Science program (Nuclear Energy in Agriculture) with a focus on Computational, Evolutionary and Systems Biology. Graduated in Biological Sciences - Licentiate and Bachelor's degree from the Methodist University of Piracicaba (UNIMEP) in 2013. I carried out Scientific Initiation at the Plant Breeding Laboratory, at the Center for Nuclear Energy in Agriculture (CENA/USP), with the support of a FAPESP scholarship (Process: 2010/17521-5). During my Scientific Initiation, I developed a project entitled Gene expression of enzymes involved in herbicide detoxification in sugarcane, which covers the area of #8203;#8203;Molecular Genetics and Biochemistry of Plant Stress, where I performed: RNA extraction, cDNA synthesis, Gene Expression via conventional PCR and via RT-qPCR (real-time PCR). I did an internship at the Sugarcane Technology Center (CTC) in tissue culture and in vitro genetic transformation in sugarcane. I was a Laboratory Technician at CTC working in tissue culture and in vitro genetic transformation of sugarcane. I completed Technical Training III at Ideelab Biotecnologia with the aid of a FAPESP scholarship (Process: 2022/11640-0). I am currently a Research Assistant II at SEMPRE AGTECH/WIN focusing on tissue culture and genetic transformation of corn. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)
